Bataleon SnowboardsRiding under the veil of Don’t Sleep Productions, the Bataleon team stormed Superpark® in full force, and even brought with them their team mascot in full facemask. The Amsterdam-based brand themed their edit after the acclaimed comedy CB4 starring Charlie Murphy, Chris Rock and countless other comedians of the early 90s. In their video, riders like Kyle Lopiccolo pick apart the hip, David Bertschinger sends it into abyss, and Ted Lavoie allows a friend to provide a grab to his air-to-fakie on the quarter. Sit back, have a laugh, and check out Bataleon’s inaugural appearance in the Superpark® Video Showdown. If you like this video, click the link underneath and prove it.

Wildcard MoviesWildcard has been flying the flag for the Northwest scene for a few seasons now. As the evolution of Soundstrait Productions and Funner Films, Wildcard has created a cult following among shred film viewers looking for top-level production values to match the talent onscreen. The skits in their latest release, The Saturday Night Ride, are some of the best ever to appear in a snowboard movie. For their Superpark® 15 Video Showdown submission, Wildcard focused on the action with original angles of some of the most talked about tricks of the week including Scott Blum’s Andrecht and Scott Vine’s one-foot 720. Longtime Wildcard player Pat McCarthy throws a heave-ho and adds some narrative to the package while riders like Seth Hill, Stefan Krumm, and Joe Mango make their mark at Mt. Bachelor. Witness LNP land his first McTwist ever at 2:30. This alone is reason to click the “Like” badge below.
